Tsunami Baby Is Born

17 September 2006 —Priya Puthenparambil from Azhikkal, had previously undergone fallopian-tube ligation as a form of permanent contraception. As such, when her and her husband, Baby, lost their two children —Kiran and Kinkini— in the 2004 tsunami, they found themselves not only childless but also unable to conceive. When Amma learned of their situation, she offered them—and other couples—the opportunity to have their contraceptive surgeries reversed.
